Whernside

Although some may think Whernside to be visually less impressive than its distinctive neighbours
Ingleborough
and
Pen-y-Ghent,
the summit of this fell offers some spectacular views,
and there are some interesting features including
Greensett Tarn
and
Force Gill
on the eastern flanks.

Like its neighbours, Whernside is capped by millstone grit on top of limestone -
a geological profile which gives rise to a network of caves and potholes
formed by waters draining off the upper slopes.
Examples include
Bruntscar Cave
and Gatekirk Cave.
